Holiday Time

Glamorous Ways to Wear Jeans at Christmas and New Year’s

For some gals, nothing comes between them and their jeans, not even the holiday season. If you love denim and need ideas for how to wear jeans at Christmas or New Year’s Eve, I have two easy suggestions.

The first way is pair your favorite jeans with a top made from a luxurious holiday fabric in a festive color. Then add bling! 

The second way is to swap out your everyday blue or black jeans for a pair of dressier, more glamorous jeans. For example, waxed silver jeans, velvet jeans, leather jeans or winter white jeans with sparkle and embellishment. It’s so easy and looks so party-ready. Take a look.

How to Wear Jeans at Holiday Time

1. Turn Up the Shine with a Satiny Blouse

Any shiny fabric is going to make you look more festive this time of year and does wonder to dress up  any black jeans.

This pretty green satin wrap blouse is a great example. It’s as smooth and shiny as a Christmas ribbon, feminine, effortless, and guaranteed to give you that Christmas glow. Bow tie pumps, glittering crystal earrings, and a chic bag also upscale the outfit and make it party-ready.

 


2. Upscale a Jeans Outfit with a Luxurious Velvet Top

Nothing says holiday time more than velvet. Simply pair a velvet top with your favorite black jeans, and you will wow! Black booties and a glittering boho bag with some fun earrings is a beautiful classic, casual holiday party look.

3.  Swap Blue or Black Jeans for Winter White Jeans

Winter white jeans automatically kick things up a notch, especially when they have a sparkly gold stripe down the side like these ones—a pretty sweater with sheer sleeves, complete with more sparkle for an elegant look. Gold and winter white accessories are the perfect complement when you want to create a rich, expensive holiday look.

 

4. Try Faux Leather Jeans for an Edgy Holiday Look

If your taste runs more on the wild side then swapping out your regular jeans for faux leather pants will instantly make your holiday look dressier and more urban. Try a sequin top to turn up the heat!

5. Shine on in Silver Holiday Jeans

Once the holidays hit, silver sparkly waxed jeans are easy to find. Paired with anything white, they make an icy, but classy look. For something even softer, try a soft pastel like this lavender sweater with the big festive bows. This is such a festive look and a nice change from your classic black, red, gold, and green we usually see during the holidays.

The Perfect Solution

Holiday time doesn’t automatically mean you have to put away your jeans if that’s what you feel most comfortable wearing. Wearing a more festive top, or swapping your regular jeans for more dressier ones, will give you exactly what you are after – a casual glam holiday party look makes you feel classy and comfy too.
